Boring times so maybe a highlight or 2. Usual hour workout at 9 am. Went out and swing the Superspeed clubs and my driver .

I went out to jump (🤣) on my Toro ZT to mow before the rain comes in Tues. I noticed that one of the front tires is flat with a broken bead. Shit. Jack the mower up take the tire off and take it into the my shop. Clean the rim and put some grease on the beads. Put the old rope tourniquet around it and start twisting with a big screw driver. Hit it with some air and tire re-inflates. Yay, since there are dents all over the edge of the rim. This has happened many times. Even though I keep the pressure up I guess I get them in a bit of a twist in a tight turn and it breaks the bead. It takes more effort for this old geezer each time. I found some airless tires already mounted on Amazon so I am going to give those a try.

Rickochet I notice that one of the front tires is flat with a broken bead.

I was getting that a lot on my ZTR,had a company in SA fill the old tubeless front tires up with
some kind of silicone.....no more flats or broken beads!

Ugliest copper sweat job I've ever seen and done...
No real way around the ugliness, pipes had water in them, and no way to drain them. Had flame on the pipe so long I'd swear that I was burning the flux right out. Solder flowed like it should once I got it all hot, so it's done and holding pressure.

Typhoon

Trying to get to 8 accounts to make up for later in the week.
Have a wake to go to later, need to fire up the tractor, put on a new part for the bagger and cut the lawn. Need to finish trimming as well. Maybe drag the pool stuff out to get that ready to start tomorrow. Have 2 TM events end of the week, the pool… need fertilizer again too. Guess I remember why I quit playing by this time every year.

It's gonna hit the 90's today, so I'll fire up the power washer (don't mind getting wet when it's 90* !!), and clean the side porch, and the front (north) side of the house which always gets mildew b/c it's always in the shade. I'm sure
Mrs. Fatshot will come up with some other chores for me to do!

After the range fiasco, I went back and continued detailing the truck.

Washed with a foam Canon and then clay barred the entire truck. Being 21 years old, it sure did need it.

Didn't have time to compound and polish, but it looks Alot better now.

After the clay bar, the spray bottle just glided off the fiberglass tonneau cover!

Will try to finish tomorrow providing it doesn't rain as predicted.

BTW, this is what I used...

How she looks so far...

Walterjn

CallMeAl looks good. Can you do mine as well???

I am currently sitting in Temecula waiting for a friend to arrive.
I hauled 5 horses down here for a show. I left home about 6:30. I left the barn with the horses about 11. I got to the showgrounds about 2:30.
This morning I got a text message from former boss lady, she was letting me know that her mom passed away. Boss lady always said that I was her mom's favorite child...
Apparently she fell down the stairs at her home the other day, went to the hospital in an ambulance, and told her daughters that her back was sore because she lifter her walker into the back of her car. She ended up with multiple spinal fractures. As much as I hate to say or think it, this might be a blessing for all.

Typhoon

Walterjn Sorry for the loss Walter. And I imagine she was proud telling everyone about you too.

Watching my companion labor with such intensity is inspirational.

Acid etching the garage floor, then sealing a few cracks...
Getting it ready for an epoxy coating.
I need to get a job so I can rest up some!🤣

Also finally getting our a/c repaired ,the ECM went out in the blower unit in the attic.
We've been without cooling for over a week now,and it's been in the mid 90's.
The downside of having a home warranty, things get fixed at THEIR pace!

Usual busy day. Good thing is I’ve done a weeks worth of day job in 2 days.
Today I did 2 accounts, went to the gym, back out and did 7 more accounts. Got home at 1:45 and started hooking up the pool. Nick helped before he went to work. Came on around 4 for food… forgot to eat lunch. Pool is filling, tomorrow we can get the cover off it and get the filter/pump running.

Only day I have really this week to do it, so that worked out. Thursday and Friday I’ll just do TM fittings and tomorrow I’ll hit down accounts for next week and work at the proshop.

Typhoon

Worked 5 accounts, got home around 12. Went out and grabbed Nick to get the cover off the pool after I pumped more water off it amd deflated the ice breaker balloon. Then we added the DE firing it up…. All good! Cleaned the kennel area, brushes the pool down. Now it’s off to work at the golf course until dark. Wednesdays suck… 50 carts fo out with the leagues . Makes for a long afternoon and night washing and putting away.

Rototiller? I don't need no stinking rototiller! I turned the 16 x 32 garden myself. Just me and my garden spade. And beer afterwards.
